The Art of Business

artful business conference

Matching creativity with business know-how is often a tricky balance, but how wonderful it is when left and right brain can work together in perfect harmony! The Artful Business Conference aims to help you achieve just that – teaching creative entrepreneurs how to make it in the business world without losing their passion in the process. Over September 3 and 4, eight speakers will come together to talk on all topics from digital marketing to IP, fear and motivation and brand development. Content is specially tailored for designers, makers, crafters, writers, marketers and other creatives with their own small businesses – or even those thinking about stepping out into the corporate world. And best of all, Artful Business is an online conference, meaning you can join in from anywhere in the world! Attendees will be able to ask questions and engage in real-time conversations via an event chat room, or if you aren’t available to tune-in on via LiveStream, recordings will be available online for six months after the event. Thanks to Studio Exsto and their partners at Tickle the Imagination, Petra Vanessie and Mark My Words Trademark Services, we have two virtual ticket passes to give away! For your chance to win, comment below and tell us what your dream creative business is! {Comp closes Sun, August 18 at 8pm}.
